I should explain my login name--it's the answer I got from the BD "Who were you in Middle-Earth page?" And it wasn't taken already!

Tolkien strikes me as taking the view that people driven to create things and/or enamored of technology seem to be likely to get into trouble. Given my choice of study in school, this is (obviously) a view I personally am somewhat in disagreement with. To be fair to the dwarves, though, they don't seem to be more prone to turning evil than other races, certainly not humans (compare the Seven dwarf-lords to the Nine Nazgul). |
